Barthes discusses in depth in his work The first literal message serves as a support for a second meaning of a generally affective or ideological order Roland Barthes The cat suits that adorn the feline hybrid characters in this genre are firstly illustrating their connection to felines On the ideological level the costumes signify the attributes that our society has projected onto cats and that the characters embody In another post modern thesis on sadomasochism in cinema Andrea Beckmann wrote Cinematic SM is twisted into the non consenting violent realm of the unhinged that we know it is not Fetishism is used as an excuse for a bit of titillatory semi nudity or to identify the villain the man in black leather Horror films in particular will happily throw in a leather catsuit or a gratuitous bondage scene to spice up a mediocre script M Olley Pam Hogg Warrior queen of the catwalk References Bodysuit Dictionary com Catsuit Dictionary com a b Paula Deitz Origins of Casual Style
